I am a native in this world And think in it as a native thinks

Livingstone
Tonight, before dinner, Russell gave a talk on the life of David Livingstone.
In addition to being an expert on wildlife, skilled at navigating the labyrinths of international travel in Africa, capable of juggling all the details required to get 23 tourists transported, housed, fed and informed, Russell is a raconteur, an historian and a superb storyteller.
I won't attempt to tell the story myself, as I can't possibly do it justice. I think the lesson here is that if at at all possible, make Russell Gammon your guide to Africa.
